About the book
This is a biography of Jackson Barnett, who gained unexpected wealth from oil found on his property. It explores how control of his fortune was contested by his guardian, the state of Oklahoma, the Baptist Church, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and an adventuress who kidnapped and married him.
First sentence: Traveling through the Creek nation on his way to Edward's Trading Post on the Canadian River in early February 1842, Ethan Allen Hitchcock beheld from the summit of a hill a most breathtakingly beautiful prairie, timbered hills, and valleys.
